Vier rokende en drinkende mannen aan een tafel 1754

This 1754 etching by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos, entitled "Vier rokende en drinkende mannen aan een tafel" (Four Smoking and Drinking Men at a Table), depicts a scene of everyday life in the 18th century. The work features four men seated around a table, smoking pipes and enjoying a drink. The composition is simple and direct, with the figures arranged in a casual, almost informal manner. Delfos's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the men's clothing, the smoke curling from their pipes, and the glasses of liquor on the table. The artwork provides a glimpse into the social customs and activities of the time.
